Cardiothoracic repair and reconstruction procedures continue to grow because of the rapid increase in cardiovascular diseases worldwide. There are not many medications that can help restore cardiac function due to the physical damage to the organ itself. Therefore, it is advisable to repair and restore the cardiac and vascular function within and outside of the heart.

Although there are replacement heart valves available for valvular diseases, these are fully fabricated valves meant to use in its entirety to perform its function. In many indications, there is a need to only repair one leaflet or patch a small opening (VSD, ASD etc.). In addition, there is a need for reconstruction of RVOT or Tetralogy of Fallot in congenital heart diseases where the physician needs a natural material that can withstand the pulsatile motions of the heart and at the same time function as a natural tissue.

Similarly, in the vascular area, there are many premade conduits available that are made of synthetic materials, but these devices do not give the freedom for physicians to cut or form into different shapes and sizes as per patients’ needs. Although there has been tremendous amount of development in the synthetic materials and many new generation materials are available, there is a need for a natural material that mimics the natural blood vessels and gives freedom for physicians to tailor and utilize.

Our proprietary fixation methodology, elixP^TM, preserves the natural collagen structures in every Invengenx® Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch. This fixation treatment enhances the mechanical strength of the tissue while maintaining its superior flexibility, soft and supple characteristics, all the while retaining its biophysical properties to enhance surgical handling and healing capabilities.

With advancements in medical technology, the use of bovine pericardial tissue patches has become increasingly significant in providing effective solutions for urological procedures. Our elixP^TM Tissue Technology revolutionizes these operations, offering patients improved outcomes and doctors valuable advantages in their surgical practices.

Invengenx^® Bovine pericardial tissue patches have demonstrated exceptional biocompatibility and durability, making them an ideal choice for urological repair and reconstruction and leading to improved patient outcomes. Our elixP^TM Tissue Technology enhances these benefits by optimizing the processing and preparation of the bovine pericardial tissue, ensuring its structural integrity and biocompatibility.

For doctors, the use of bovine pericardial tissue patches with elixP^TM Tissue Technology provides several advantages. The patches are easy to handle, allowing for precise and efficient placement during surgical procedures. The flexibility and versatility of the tissue patches enable doctors to tailor them to specific anatomical requirements, facilitating personalized treatment plans. Additionally, the enhanced durability of the patches reduces the risk of complications and the need for revision surgeries, ultimately saving time, resources, and improving patient satisfaction.

General surgery and soft tissue repair and reconstruction is another prolific field of bovine pericardial tissue patch application due to increased aging population worldwide. The problems patients encounter are numerous from acute and chronic pain, minimal to limited lifestyle activities, and immobility.

Suture reinforcement is also a common medical need that patients may require during general surgery. Some of the challenges in this area are that suture line or staple line reinforcement during surgery can leak or bleed, leading to infection. Therefore, it is very critical to secure the suture line for proper healing with a natural and flexible material, such as Invengenx®.
